Target Files and Sub-Directories

The Files and Sub-Directories tab found within various directory monitor templates enables users to specify the directories, sub-directories and file types to target.

From the Directories tab, select each target directory.
Check the Monitor sub-directories option to trigger actions for each sub-directory rather than the target directory. This option enables users to trigger actions for dynamically created sub-directories such as User data directories.
Check the Recursively scan sub-directories option to target files found in all sub-directories.
Use the Exclude sub-directories drop-down box to add any sub-directory found in the tree to exclude from the template. For example:
subdir1\subdir1a
Use the Target files drop-down to limit target files to those that match the specified search criteria.
For example: *.log

Note

Some Templates require this value to be set. If required, and you want to target all files, specify *.

Important

To target filenames that contain the current date, specify a date and time search criteria.

For example:

save-me<yyyyMMdd>.bak

For more information see: Custom date and time format strings

Use the Ignore files drop-down to exclude files that match the specified search criteria.
For example: ignore-me.log
Use the Target files with a modified date and time span controls to target files that have a modified date and time that is either greater than or less than the current date and time minus the specified time span.
